360 hits the road

After bucket loads of coffee, not so many hours of sleep and endless meetings the long grind of establishing the company is now calming down. The exciting stuff is now pushing itself into the lime light.

The expeditions are now under way and the clients are having a ball, Bhutan being our first out.

“Raj is a must for any expedition or challenge. His experience, professionalism, exceptional knowledge and above all care for all his clients make sure that you have the best chance of success and lots of fun”

“This has been a really exceptional trip”

Lynne Gilbert.

This really was a great expedition to kick start the adventures......

Both Raj and Rolfe have had a very busy year….

Raj has jetted off all over. He spent an interesting couple of months somewhere hot and dusty, trying to survive in conditions of up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit, even sharing his accommodation with scorpions! He’s been having fun doing a recce in Eastern Europe and has developed an amazing trip in the wilds of the Carpathian mountains in the Ukraine. Keep your eyes peeled on the 360 website for this new exciting itinerary. Raj has just returned from a successful 360 trip in Nepal and Bhutan and is now back home looking at his calendar for 2009 with excitement...it's going to be another very busy year!

Rolfe has guided another 12 very successful expeditions to all heights and destinations.
The beginning winter months saw him guiding in the Pyrenees and topping out on Mera Peak (6476m), whilst the last 3 months has seen Rolfe on Kilimanjaro no less then 4 times (Christmas card nightmare ... for now he not only has an English and Australian family but also an African extension consisting of many new brothers!). With over 20 successful trips to Kilimanjaro we think this makes him a bit of an expert!


For the guides the most rewarding part of leading expeditions is often the feedback...

“I feel compelled to write to you having just returned from Kilimanjaro. My reason for writing is to commend the support we had on the trip. Rolfe Oostra (expedition guide) and Mark Littlechild (medic) were absolutely superb, throughout a very challenging week, and that is reflected in our 100% success rate in all reaching the summit. As the founder of the Angus Lawson Memorial Trust (ALMT) I am incredibly grateful to the thorough way they prepared us all for the ascent as we managed to raise over £50,000 amongst our 5 ALMT climbers.” Yours Nick.
